As one fishing season winds down and another gets ready to start, I always like to think about some of the things that happened during the past year of fishing. Anglers learn or re-learn something every year, and this year has been no different for this fisherman.

People who fish for food, and sport be damned, are called pot-fishermen. The more expert ones are called crack pot-fishermen. All other fishermen are called crackpot fishermen. This is confusing. ~ Ed Zern, 1947
